Operation www.ets-lindgren.com
For safety reasons, the amplifier includes an interlock function as standard. Any
occurring error is indicated on the front panel in the display.
Note: The amplifier cannot be activated from the front panel or via the remote
control interfaces as long as an interlock error is signaled.
Connect RF generator and RF power load to the amplifier using RF cables
(tighten connectors accordingly).
CAUTION: The maximum permissible input power is +10 dBm (0.707 V).
The amplifier already provides the nominal output power at typically
-5 dBm.
Press the Standby/Operate key.

The STANDBY text in the display changes to OPERATE.

If the interlock loop is interrupted during operation, the amplifier is
deactivated automatically. The error message Interlock External will be
displayed. If the door and thus the safety switch are closed again, the
amplifier is not activated again automatically but must be activated via the
front panel or via one of the remote control interfaces.

After a measurement has been concluded, the amplifier can be deactivated
by pressing the Amplifier key again. RF OFF will be shown at the display. For
removal of the internal heat the fan can be operating for about one more
minute.
CAUTION: If the amplifier is driven outside its frequency range, no
damage is caused; however, only the signal component (e.g. harmonics
of generator), which lies within the frequency range of the amplifier, is
amplified.
In this case, measuring the output power does not provide any
information on the actual operation of the instrument.
